<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I realise this is a bit of a contentious request, but the rustup repo has been being spammed by <a href="https://github.com/J-Vin">https://github.com/J-Vin</a> on and off for a while now.  Often commenting on, or "approving" in-progress PRs or things which are otherwise blocked and not doing anything useful.  (Example here: <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/pull/2433#pullrequestreview-591083162">https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/pull/2433#pullrequestreview-591083162</a> )</p>
<p>I'm not sure I can ban them from the rustup repo, but it's getting to the point that I think they possibly ought to be banned from the whole of /rust-lang/ on github.  No amount of complaining to github has resulted in the user behaving themselves.</p>
<p>If there's a better approach than a ban-hammer I'd be happy to try it.</p>
<p>D.</p>

<p>It's best if you write a message to <a href="mailto:mods@rust-lang.org">mods@rust-lang.org</a> with precisely what you said and they will guide you from there. This seems like a rather quick case, but all such action should go through mods, even to just make sure that they are aware of those patterns.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="223910">@Daniel Silverstone</span> IMO you should gain the ability to perform that level of moderation on that repo, but I'm not sure if there's a technical limitation preventing that or not. <span aria-label="shrug" class="emoji emoji-1f937" role="img" title="shrug">:shrug:</span></p>
